About Me
My name is Sheri. I am a wife and a mother of three wonderful children, and a grandmother to two little girls and one little boy. Believe me, I know how fast the time goes. You blink, and they are all grown up. I would love to help you preserve these memories with portraits that you will cherish forever. I appreciate that every child is unique, every smile is priceless. I want to capture the personality of your child in your photos.
A little bit of my backstory, I went to school for graphic design and photography. I was a full time graphic designer/product photographer, and did portraits part time until my youngest child was born. After he was born, 10 years ago, I quit my day job and focused on doing photography full time. I focus mainly on newborns, children and maternity, however, I also do headshots, family sessions and lots of fun events throughout the year.
The biggest event is the Magical Santa Sessions every November, but I also do lots of fun themed mini sessions throughout the year.

Services
Enlightened Photography by Sheri is a full service photography studio specializing in Newborn, Maternity, Children and Family Portraits.
I want to be there with you to create those first pictures, and the pictures going forward as your child grows. I will work with you to preserve the memories you will cherish forever.
Newborn Photography:
The ideal time for a newborn session is less than two weeks old. Being a parent myself, I know this may seem daunting, but the newness is gone before you know it. During the first two weeks, your newborn will remain curled up for the adorable NEW baby poses. These are memories that you will want to preserve, because they grow up so fast.
Child Photography:
I offer sessions for any age child. Some common ages are 3 month, 6 month, 9 month, 1 year and up. We can do a single session or I have multiple session packages available as well.
Maternity:
Maternity sessions are done when you are comfortable with your baby bump. Usually 30-35 weeks, but I want you to love the portraits so it is up to you when you feel would be best. There is also a belly/baby package available that includes both a maternity session and a newborn session after baby arrives. Check out my BLOG link to see examples of the maternity gowns available to use in the studio.

Family:
I love doing outdoor family sessions, weather permitting, but we can also do family sessions in the studio.

Belly & Baby Sessions: $199
This package includes a maternity and a newborn session. Each session is about 45-60 minutes.
Newborn Session: (0-2 Weeks) $125
Newborn Sessions are best when done during the first 5 to 10 days after baby is born. During this time, they are very sleepy and even if they wake up tend to go back to sleep quickly. After two weeks they wake up easier and are able to stay awake for longer periods.
Newborn sessions take at least an hour, sometimes longer if baby needs a break to eat.

Preparing Your Session:
I do have maternity gowns available to use, I can send you a link or you can see the examples in my blog. For all sessions please be sure your clothing fits well, before the session, is clean and free from wrinkles. I cannot fix buttons that are popping and shirts that need ironing.

As I mentioned above your images will be placed in an online gallery. You can purchase individual wall art including canvas wraps or metal prints, print packages, individual prints or there are digital image options available as well.
